Define ESG… Well, it stands for environment, social and governance. But can you really define what ESG actually is? Put very simply, ESG is a set of criteria used to evaluate a company's impact on people and the planet. It's not just about ‘operating sustainably' and it's becoming increasingly important to investors, consumers and employees. But we would be wrong to think of ESG as yet another initiative, another campaign, another pillar in our content strategy. In this episode, ESG trailblazer and the founder of Communique, Gihan Hyde, joins Katie Macaulay to demystify the acronym of the moment. A comms marketing and internal comms specialist, Gihan has led some extremely complex change programmes for the likes of Barclays and the World Health Organisation, but it's her lived experience as a Sudanese migrant, and as a parent, that drove her to make ESG her purpose. This conversation gets to the heart of the E, the S and the G. It explores how internal communication teams can use each as levers to elevate and enhance their strategic value and impact – and why they'd be remiss not to. Gihan and Katie explore legislation around ESG, and the far-reaching ramifications for any business not yet taking notice.

All of us, in a way, have been shaped by the environment we grew up in, for better or worse. From familial dynamics to cultural norms, our upbringing often has a lasting impact on how we live our lives. This is especially true when it comes to generational traumas, things that we were imposed on as children, which as adults, we often revert to them. But we must unlearn them to move to the next level and chapter in our lives. Traumas can have a profound effect on our self-worth. How we view the world and interact with others impedes our ability to maximize our potential. However, by being self-aware, understanding, and recognizing these traumas, we can work through them to heal, reclaim our worth and operate at a higher frequency. Our worth is priceless and it shouldn't be tied to anything externally. It comes from the inside and the relationship we choose to have with a higher power. In this episode, Gihan Manzueta shares how to heal from generational traumas and reclaim your self-worth to operate at a higher frequency. You're worthy and deserving of creating the life you want.

Gihan Hyde is the award-winning CEO & Founder of CommUnique, one of the UK's fastest growing ESG Strategy and Communications Advisory Firms. CommUnique is B.Corp certified making it the first Black, Arab, female-founded organisation to be certified. Gihan joins Jeannette today to talk about the value of the B Corp status and what it means for business owners, why sustainability matters, and the pioneering work she's doing in the diversity and inclusion space when it comes to business. KEY TAKEAWAYS The purpose of Communique is to help businesses to begin on their sustainability journey. We need to help businesses understand what sustainability means and why we should care so much about it. There is still much work to be done in raising up voices who are being left out of business. We must endeavour to help the invisible become visible. Purpose is everything in becoming bold. If you truly believe in something, you will always speak out in defence of that thing. In order to effect true change in business for women, we must fundamentally shift the mindset that prevails in society, reset expectations between the sexes, and call out poor behaviour when we see it. BEST MOMENTS 'We do business model integration, we do communication and we do training' 'The beauty of B Corp, is that it's one of the very few certifications you can go through as an organisation where it looks at all of your stakeholders and how you are impacting them' 'My purpose is to help the invisible become visible' 'I live and breathe my purpose every day' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Shownotes: It is phenomenal to meet with women who refuse to conform to stereotypes, are not averse to risks and are very confident of the space they occupy (or seek to occupy). As a Black, Arab, female founder of an ESG Consultancy https://www.linkedin.com/company/communique-global/ (Communique.) https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAANAO5MBuMaC4Nx9Un8ikxPzBe2-xaBxR34 (Gihan A.M Hyde جيهان هايد) wants to use her skills to work on what she is passionate about, challenging stereotypes is not why she does what she does. Was it necessary or important to mention her race/ethnicity instead of just talking about her expertise? Yes it is…..because people from diverse backgrounds are still not recognised for their capabilities but are more likely to be rejected for what they look like or sound like. It is widely recognised that ‘racism' is an ESG problem but the bigger problem is that there is very little diversity amongst the ESG fraternity - the people who advise on ESG (Technical or communications). So, It is great to see Gihan carve out her own space as an ESG communications expert. As an advocate for equity and inclusion I like to celebrate every win (big or small) so it was great to discover our alignment on things that matter to us and how we can contribute to making a difference. In the episode of The Elephant in the Room podcast we spoke about https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAANAO5MBuMaC4Nx9Un8ikxPzBe2-xaBxR34 (Gihan A.M Hyde جيهان هايد)'s journey to ESG, what the 'S' in ESG stands for, the importance of ESG for business, why stakeholders should ask for it, triple top line, social impact, skills for communicators and the people who inspire her. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=sdgs&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A6941997013001469952 (#sdgs) https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=esg&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A6941997013001469952 (#ESG) https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=esgreporting&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A6941997013001469952 (#esgreporting) https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=inclusion&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A6941997013001469952 (#inclusion) https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=equityforall&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A6941997013001469952 (#equityforall) https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=theelephantintheroom&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A6941997013001469952 (#TheElephantintheRoom) Memorable Passages from the Podcast:

Summary: In this episode of the Building Better Cultures podcast, Scott welcomes Gihan Hyde, CEO and founder of Communique, a London-based social enterprise start-up specializing in communication strategies in ESG and sustainability. According to Gihan, Communique is an “ESG social enterprise communications start-up.” Her company is unique in that it recruits its associates from underdeveloped countries and underrepresented communities. The mission of Communique is to help companies start their ESG journey, place them with the right experts who can help them implement the strategies, and then communicate those strategies effectively to all their stakeholders. Gihan defines sustainability and ESG, explains the role that internal communicators play in ESG, and proposes specific strategies for broadcasting sustainability initiatives. She and Scott discuss what it means to create champions and the importance of personal relationships. Gihan also shares several examples of employees whose stories she had the privilege of highlighting, which in turn generated the credit they deserved for the positive changes they made in their organizations. Key Takeaways: A bit about the podcast’s new sponsor, Workvivo, an internal communications platform connecting people to their organizations all around the world. Learn more about Workvivo The podcast opens with some background about Gihan and Communique. Gihan explains that Communique is a start-up that specializes in communicating environmental, social, and governance strategies. Her work at Communique has impacted more than 150,000 customers and 200,000 employees, and has yielded 300 million pounds. Gihan states, “We help companies who are not clear on how to start their ESG journey and introduce them to the right experts who will embed these initiatives, strategies, and policies; and then take this amazing work that the ESG experts have conducted and communicate it effectively so that it can land with the investors, customers, and employees and explain to each of them what role they play in bringing the ESG story to life.” Scott asks Gihan what makes her “ESG social enterprise communications start-up” different. Gihan responds that her purpose in life is to make people feel valued and heard and that Communique is her gateway for doing that. The experts and associates who help her deliver the work to her clients are mainly from undeveloped countries and underrepresented communities. Gihan introduces the associates to the developed world, to the work of Communique, and once they build their portfolio, they can “flock the nest” or stay and become part of the Communique team. So far they have eight associates around the world, including a web designer, content creators, animator, etc. Scott asks Gihan how ESG relates to sustainability and whether or not they are the same thing. Gihan responds that they are not the same thing and the terms should not be used interchangeably. She defines sustainability as “doing well by doing good”, whereas ESG is the collection of “physical factors that investors, and only investors, use when they are determining which companies they would like to invest in.” Gihan credits Greta Thunberg and Gen Z for the rise in the use and familiarity of the ESG. Gihan says that Covid has caused investors to reflect on the data that compares the profit margins of companies who are “living and breathing” ESG which are at 28% with the profit margins of those who don’t at 14%. As a result, 84% of these investors are only investing in ESG-focused companies. Scott says that he thinks there are companies around the world who are already running some ESG-aligned initiatives but are not communicating them to their employees. Gihan concurs and says that this is especially true in large organizations (5,000 or more). She ascribes this breakdown in communication to the complexity of the organizations and to the lack of understanding of the topic. Gihan defines ESG: Environmental – How is the company impacting the environment? Social – What is the relationship between the company and its employees, community, and customers? Governance – How is the company being governed internally? She says that sustainability experts in large companies need to communicate their passion and get the rest of the company on board. She shares an example of about a group of employees at a company who were passionate about the environmental aspect who convinced leadership to employ a plastic-free initiative, but their initiative didn’t get the attention it deserved until Gihan highlighted it to the functional team. Scott asks Gihan how can leaders and internal communications teams do a better job of broadcasting sustainability initiatives within their companies. Gihan states, “Internal comms is the glue that holds the organization together. We are the ones who have the access to employees that no one else has. It up to us to help employees live and breathe ESG.” She shares this example of PG Tips, the tea manufacturer: A factory worker suggested to the manager to reduce a seal by 3 mm, and proved that by doing that they were saving 15 reels of paper, equating to 20,000 tons of paper, and saving PG Tips 47,000 euros. This story was brought to life by internal comms. Gihan says, “We (internal comms) are the voice of the employees, and we need to act like one. We need to go out, stop sitting at our desks, and we need to start asking and encouraging people.” She gives another example: Six employees in India in a Unilever factory who wanted to train the women in their communities to use the beauty products so that they could become the champions of Unilever. To date, 800 women have been trained; 600 of them have opened their own businesses and are Unilever’s sole suppliers in rural areas of India. Scott suggests that the important conversations about ESG are happening on the front lines, and he wants to know to help employees see their role in making ESG and sustainability happen. Gihan breaks down what the E in ESG means for employees using a cake analogy, with the environment as the first layer of the cake, society as the second, and the economy as the third. Communications is the tray that holds the cake. The role of Comms is to marry all of the elements of the Personal Compact between between employees and employers, the three components of which are: Formal compact (job description, contracts, and performance) Psychological compact (rewards, recognition, expectations, and commitment) Social Compact (perception of the company, culture, and values) Gihan suggests that internal communicators can accomplish this by: Helping the leadership team define the company’s long-term purpose and articulate it clearly. Helping the leadership team spell out the economical case for ESG. Creating ESG as part of your employee experience touchpoints, beginning at the recruiting process. Making everyone a sustainability champion. Encouraging healthy competition. Scott argues that being a champion should be a separate job description in each organization. Gihan agrees that this is the ideal situation, but she admits that in her career she has depended on personal relationships with employees who have taken it upon themselves to be champions in addition to their regular job. Gihan stresses the importance of holding up these champions as heroes. Scott asks Gihan if there are any resources she would recommend for his listeners who like to learn more about ESG. Gihan recommends her company blog and newsletter found at communique.global. For listeners who are interested in the data, she recommends the following resources: MSCI Deloitte McKinsey PwC More information about Gihan and Communique is available at: www.communique.global or @LinkedIn Learn more about Scott McInnes, Founder and Director of Inspiring Change, by clicking here.

Today’s guest is Aman Advani, co-founder of Ministry of Supply. If you’ve ever worn a traditional suit, you’ve experienced the problem that Aman and his co-founder Gihan wanted to solve: they’re stiff, uncomfortable, and they let the entire world know just how much you sweat. At first, they stitched fabric from their favorite athletic brands into acceptable office wear before developing their own blends. And just to prove how versatile their suit is, co-founder Gihan ran a half marathon while wearing it and was rewarded with the most literal interpretation of proof of concept and a Guinness World Record. Listen in as we cover everything from why there’s still a ton of great opportunity in retail, why word of mouth was crucial to their company’s growth, and why the inspiration for the company name came from none other than James Bond himself.

He shares his insights on creating a high performance culture characterised by diversity and inclusion, as well as the importance of learning from the younger generations like Gen Z.

Happy New Year! While in production with our new 2020 line-up of episodes, we wanted to share some highlights of my conversations with last year’s smart and talented guests whom I was honored to have spent time with. We discovered that sustainability is still a huge topic. While it means many things to different people, sustainability is no longer a trend, but a business approach that’s here to stay. We also learned how collaboration throughout the entire supply chain lifts individual businesses and the industry as a whole. We catch a glimpse into the future with digital manufacturing, robotic tailoring and smart textiles. The thread that ties my guests together, is that they all believe it is an exciting time to be involved with materials. I hope you enjoy!
If the database you'd built for years was hacked and destroyed, would it be the end of the world? Or could you replicate most of your data fairly quickly using other more modern ways of gathering data? Futurist Gihan Perera, in this podcast, throws down the challenge to innovate - particularly in relation to startups that may not have the same assets, resources and strengths as you do. If they don't need them, do you? How can you take advantage of younger talent in your business? How can you remove experiences that are slow, bumpy and unpleasant for your customers? "The opposite of fast, free and flat is slow, bumpy, and expensive. So if you want to know the biggest potential disruption points in your business and in the industry as a whole look at what is slow, bumpy or expensive..." - Gihan Perera Some of the topics we discussed include: How 'starting from scratch thinking' can give you a competitive advantage over would-be disruptorsWhy 'disruption' does not have to have a negative meaningWhy not all change is disruptive or negative - change is something the younger generation in your business actually enjoys!A framework to brainstorm with the team and get your business “fit for the future”.Testing what you know to be true - and avoiding what Gihan calls the “zone of delusion” - where experienced people no longer question what they believe, regardless of the evidence around themCritically looking at the tools you currently use - would you replace them with something different if you had to start over?The concept of 'reverse mentoring' and why you should give it a try...
